“Very clean and updated rooms. Shower is extremely small but works fine. Remember, people, get that important email with the entry codes BEFORE you head out. They aren't too pleased with us who do not find the email before getting there!”

“Entrada el 24 de Agosto de 2024. Ya conocía el establecimiento de una vez anterior. La pensión muy bien cuidada y limpia, la habitación amplia y limpia, en esta ocasión con baño incorporado dentro de la habitación el cual un poco regulín. En cuanto al servicio, la tarde del domingo me lleve una sorpresa al regresar a la habitación porque no estaba hecha, a todos se nos puede pasar y llamé al establecimiento y en cosas de poco tiempo nos limpiaron la habitación y la dejaron impoluta y perfumada (gracias señor gerente por la eficacia y la amabilidad por su parte). La ubicación inmejorable céntrica y junto al espolón.”

“Escribi una reseña negativa hace unas horas por un malentendido en la reserva sin poder hasta hoy solucionarlo . Hoy la he borrado. Se ha logrado solucionar finalmente después de varias llamadas. Hay que tener buena voluntad por ambas partes y yo soy una persona honrada que también me cuesta salir adelante . Pero da mucha desazón . Siempre hago las reservas directamente con los alojamientos para evitarles el 15 por ciento que se quedan las plataformas.Buen Camino”
